Today we bring the crunch
to Munch Madness. Let's talk about that. <i> ( music playing )</i> Good mythical morning! Today Rhett's going to
transform me into a human
marshmallow Peep. - Mm-hmm.
- Mmm! And then we're gonna
play a game where we try to identify
Easter eggs in movies while gulping
down raw eggs. - Mmm.
- But first, we're in a our third
category of snacks in our Munch Madness
snack bracket! We've already crowned the best
salty and meaty/cheesy snacks, but now it's time for... Okay, to recap,
you guys voted to determine the top eight
snacks within each category of our humongous
Munch Madness bracket. Look at that thing!
Alex, wake up! After you picked Bugles
I haven't been really the same. Yes. Okay, of course,
in meaty/cheesy Cheetos won and is moving on
to the Final Four, and in salty
the controversial advancer, - Yeah, guys.
- Bugles. We've seen your comments.
You're not happy. At least some
of you aren't. And tomorrow
we tackle sweets next but today we crown
the ultimate chip. Yeah, chips had to be
its own category, because there are just
so many good chips and they deserve
a special spot. Here's how
we identified a chip. Any broad and flat,
fried or baked, and made of corn
or potato thing is a chip. A cracker is usually
made of wheat... - Right.
- ...and is in
the salty category, which we've already tackled. Pretzels are not chips.
Cheetos are not chips. Chocolate chips
are not chips - even though
they're called chips.
- Right. And here are our
top eight favorite chips,
according to you. Lay's Sour Cream & Onion,
Ruffles, Pringles, Lay's Barbecue,
Doritos Cool Ranch, Lay's, Doritos Nacho Cheese,
and Fritos. I cannot believe that Lay's
Salt & Vinegar potato chips is not on the bracket! Or Ruffles Cheddar,
Sour Cream, - which I think is
my favorite chip.
- I know. I thought that would
be like a dark horse. But again you guys voted.
Over 10,000 of you voted and those were not
in the top eight. - They were close, but they
were not in the top eight.
- They were in the 64, but you did not
put them there. - So-- hey.
- So, it's your fault! Our top seed,
Sour Cream & Onion 4,149 votes
versus the eight seed. Got 2,055 votes. Oh, man. - I know I love these--
- I know and love these chips. - Whoa!
- What? - Know and love?
- I didn't say know and love I said I know I love but-- - Oh I said I know and love.
- And you said I know and love. And then we just
synched up. Let's do everything in sync
the rest of the day. - Such a good chip.
- Yeah. You don't have to like
sour cream or onion to love these chips. - Or chips.
- Yeah. Now, a Ruffle--
Look at this packaging and it's got this kind
of retro feel to it. Like our chip hasn't
changed in decades. - Mm-hmm.
- It's a strong chip. It's got ridges. It is a good chip.
It's a solid chip. - Got a lot of crunch.
- But it doesn't bring anything. It's just a missed
opportunity. Sour Cream & Onion, man. This is a clear winner. This was a blowout. I respect the ridges
but I 100% agree. Sour Cream & Onion
has got to move on. Easy, easy. Look at that. Your technique is
improving every day. Appreciate that. All right, now
we got our middle seeds. Original Pringles
which received 3,500 votes versus Barbecue Lay's which had
just around 3,000 votes. Now one of the things
I love about chips is the irregular
nature of them. Like I love these ones
that fold over on each other. - You don't get that
with Pringles, though.
- Grab one of these first. Let's eat in tandem. And then with Pringles
you don't get that 'cause they're all uniform. It's so tough
because we're doing this the way that they
naturally matched up based on votes 'cause-- typically something
that has a flavor is gonna have an advantage
in a side by side taste test with something
that doesn't have a flavor. - But this is--
- So I'm trying to put myself
back into a place where I don't need
that flavor. Pringles are such
a left field concoction of potato
chippiness. You know? Everything that
they decided was part of a manufacturing process. How do they even make these? These are obviously potatoes that are sliced
very thin and then fried. What happened here? It does raise a lot
of questions. It's definitely
not a sliced potato. I think this would be like
one of those Instagram videos that I watch on loop
like 500 times. How Pringles are made. And then I would probably
be voting for them. But I find myself leaning
towards the Barbecue Lay's because whenever I go
to an outdoor party there's a lot of these bags because people feel the need to have this there. For some reason,
psychologically this needs to be at a barbecue. - ( screams )
- Oh, gosh!
Look what you done now. Versus Pringles, especially
the like non-flavored ones. I like the cheddar ones. I like the Sour Cream & Onion
but I don't love-- That's the tricky thing
about these is because more people
like plain than the polarizing flavors that this ends up being
the Pringles that made it
to our bracket but I'm sorry, Pringles. Sweet, barbecuey. It just doesn't--
It's not better
than that right now. - It moves on.
- Barbecue Lay's moves on. Link:
Congratulations, Lay's! Cool Ranch Doritos
is seed three
with 3,801 votes versus the Classic
Original Lay's, seed six with 2,608 votes. Now I don't even have
to taste these to know how strongly I feel about Cool Ranch
Doritos moving on. - I mean--
- This is a magical chip. This is--
they tie with-- Cheddar, sour cream chips
as my favorite chip. - Really?
- I love Cool Ranch Doritos. - I'm a Nacho Dorito man.
- Well, I love those as well. - I like the orangies.
- But if I had to chose, - if you backed me
into the corner of a Dorito--
- There's three of those. I would hope
that it would be Cool Ranch. Now we might've
made a mistake. - Don't eat too many
of those right now.
- I can't help it. Because the flavor profile
might dominate the Classic Lay's chip. This chip to me is
like a Buddhist monk. It's just like--
It's sitting there content. It knows that
it's got it together. But it would never come
off that way to anyone. - It's not pretentious?
- Not pretentious. You think Doritos Cool Ranch
is trying too hard? - They're calling
themselves cool.
- Yep. And if you're really cool
you shouldn't say it, - you should just be cool.
- Yeah. Trying to get in
with the cowboys,
with the ranch! Well, you're not gonna budge me
from this, man. I can't-- I will never betray
my Cool Ranch Doritos. These are clearly
moving on in my mind. - And if you feel that strongly
about Lay's--
- Well, it takes two to tango. I-- here's the thing. I really like this chip. I think there's other Doritos
that are better, but this one right here
it's just-- it's beautiful
in its simplicity. - Are you saying
that's your choice?
- This is my choice. - Yes, I'm not--
- We need a tiebreaker! Rhett: It's our favorite singing
transmission repairman in all of Burbank,
California, - Goorgen!
- Yes! Link: Come on over! Goorgen,
we need your help, man. Take a seat, Goorgen. How you doing?
Hi! How are you? - We're doing great!
- Good to see ya, man! - It's always good to see ya.
- Nice to meet you again. Now, you may
remember Goorgen from the commercial
we made for him. - Shift it, shift it.
- Yeah, of course. Shift it, shift it forward. Shift it, shift it-- In reverse. Yeah. Well, we've got
a much easier task. You don't have
to shift anything because you are making
the determination on which one of these
chips is better. Taste each and just let us know
what you think. Which one is better
I can take home with me? - The one I choose?
- Yeah, yeah. - Rhett and Link: You can take
the whole bag.
- Okay. - Good, right?
- Rhett, shh! Now try this one. Seem a little surprised there
for a second. I'm confused
because mixed together-- But I guess this one is better
than other one. I can have this one? That's right!
Cool Ranch Doritos! He said he guesses
this one's better. - I don't care what he does.
- Are you certain? Okay... this one. Yes!
Here you go, Goorgen. We need-- We need
to keep basketball. Okay, you can have that. All right, Alex. The transmission
repairman has spoken! - Rhett: Yes.
- Cool Ranch Doritos moves on. Link: Whoo! And finally in seed two
with 3,957, Nacho Cheese Doritos
versus seed seven, Fritos comes in
with 2,055 votes. Well let's-- Let's follow
your advice from last round. - Right. Good point.
- Let's go with the more - plain flavored thing first.
- Yep. These have got a really
strong crunch. Something that you may
not even understand unless you've eaten so many
chips like we just have. I love Fritos, but I very rarely
if ever eat them alone. I put them into things,
like I put them into chili. - I love 'em hiding
below some chili...
- Yeah. - ...because they're
so crunchy--
- Even sticking up, not hiding. - Half hide, half not hide.
- Okay. But this right here is
my favorite Dorito. And you know what?
I absolutely love it. The nacho cheese punch
is in your face! - I'm sorry, but--
- It's orange! - There is no competition.
- Nope, none at all. Doritos blows Fritos... Both:
Out of the water. - Link: Alex.
- Rhett: There we go. Link:
Watch your back, Alex. No, I just mean bend
with your knees next time. Got it. All right,
we've got a Lay's off. The one seed
versus the five seed. The good news here is
no matter what happens
we're getting Layed. - Yep.
- Now let's start with these. I-- again I love
the curled over ones. Smellin' it. Kinda smells like the bottom
of a hamster cage. - That's your hand.
- Oh. - It's the perfect chip.
- The perfect chip? It is a perfect chip. Is this also
a perfect chip? Bigger flavor,
much bolder. Sticks with you. Sweetness. Not really much heat. Got a smokiness to it. Smokiness, exactly right. Very good chip. Which I do not prefer
over the Original Lay's. - Really?
- And I'm lovin' this. Again, any chip that makes
you like sour cream and onion, is an accomplishment. Sour Cream & Onion
brings me more joy. More joy in the mouth. Brings me more joy
than most things in my life. More than your kids? - Oh, definitely.
- Okay. All right,
then Sour & Onion it is! Moving on! Man, Doritos
versus Doritos. - Dang!
- And this is like-- This says a lot
about who you are, which one of these
you prefer. And they're so close in seeding,
two and three seed. I am feeling the weight
of responsibility! - But I know which--
- I've already said
that I like these better. And I've already said
that I like these better. Get one of your special
folded over ones. Look, there's one
right there. - So cheesy.
- You're gonna like that. So cheesy over here, man. - That's very tangy.
The tang in there.
- Yeah. - Too much tang?
- No. They're both very bold-- You can't have
too much tang. That hits hard
with the tang, but this hits hard
with the nacho! It's a crapshoot, man. It just comes down
to personal preference and-- - I'm standing my ground.
- I'm standing my ground. We're gonna have to have
another tiebreaker. You remember him
when he was here a second ago. It's Goorgen! Link: Whoo! Come on over, Goorgen. - Ah, Goorgen.
- Your job is not done
today, man. How you doing? - This one's tougher, man.
- You can sit right in there. This one's tougher. Now we've got Doritos
and Doritos. Okay, this is a big deal.
Okay? The internet is hanging
on your decision. - Mm-hmm.
- Taste 'em. - Taste and see.
- Taste. How about this one? He's going with the Cool Ranch
for his first bite. Still good, still cool. Looking downward
inside his own soul to find the answers. What? This one is the barbecue. - What?
- I think I prefer this one. - You prefer this one?
- Yes. He prefers this one! He prefers
the Nacho Cheese! - Okay.
- You like cheese
over cool ranch. - This is the better one.
- Yes! - Okay.
- He says it's the better one. Well, the people do agree
with you. So you know what?
I think this is a good decision. - You've made a good decision.
- Okay. - I'm not gonna take it
personally.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you, Goorgen.
- Thank you. Move it along, Alex. Link: Thank you, Goorgen.
All right, you know what to do. Oh, me! Here we are at the final
for this region. - We haven't had any upsets...
- Yeah. - ...in this bracket.
- Number one
and the number two seed go head to head
just as expected. And now let's
try 'em again. For the first time. It's still good. Every time I bring it
back to my mouth - I'm reminded how happy I am.
- Mm-hmm. Can't eat just one. Dorito is so good, though. It's just jam-packed
with flavor. But not too much. Like I want more of it. You know what I'm saying? I would snort that dust. I would-- The Dorito dust is so good! It's one of the most intense
snack flavors there is, in terms of cheese. And, again, now
when you go back to this it might shape your opinion
of it, because-- - It feels almost weak.
- There's more salt. Does this help? Well, you do look happier. I don't like how you're
licking your tooth. It's a little odd. You can't do that
with the Doritos bag. Try it. Try it and see
how happy you get. That just looks like a man
covering up his face
with a Doritos bag. A little ashamed. Now, I feel like I've made
this decision at countless, like, drop in,
drop out parties. That is a great point. You look at the table
and you've got Sour Cream & Onion chips
and Doritos. Most likely the Nacho Cheese because people will buy those
before the Cool Ranch. And I always, always return to my first love. I am completely on the fence. It's a gentle lover. But since you, gentle lover, are on the--
are on the-- Don't call me
gentle lover. You're not calling
yourself that? No.
It is my gentle lover. Since you believed that the
sour cream is a gentle lover, you've swayed me off
of the fence onto your side. And I think that we're sending
the number one seed, surprise, surprise, Sour Cream & Onion heads
to the Final Four! It was-- it was tough going there
but we made the decision. Whoo!
How do you feel, Alex? Feeling good.
And I think you are a
gentle lover probably. Probably. Thanks for Goorgen
for helping us out today. - Twice!
- Yeah. Check out his
transmission shop,
Arlen's Transmission. - Yes.
- He's singing
with a microphone - on the sign.
- Yes. - He can do it all, people.
- Yeah, anything you need. Even eat chips. Next up, Rhett's turning me
into a human marshmallow Peep. Because why not? <i> We love brands even
